How Romesh Converted To UKIP | Romesh Ranganathan

I'm trying to get more intellectual started to read articles and stuff trying to be more newsy get more newsy get more clued up about stuff I read this article recently about rap music I'm a massive rap fan are there rap fans in figure out yourselves yeah I'm a massive rat fan I was reading this article it said that rap music can perpetuate negative stereotypes about black people because if you don't know any black people then you watch a Snoop Dogg video apparently think all black people are like that it's very interesting article also made me realize that I have a hundred percent contributed to racism throughout my life and I'll tell you why I'm such a grumpy prick when I'm out and about that if you bumped into me and you were on the fence about Asians I reckon I'd push you over problem because white people prick I don't think all people are Pricks I'm a bloody representative interactions with me determine how you feel about brown people it sort of I mean London there's enough grounds to balance it out right but if I'm in bloody Devon I've got to behavior like I'm C-3PO no sir I'm not a local you know [Applause] and the truth is I don't get that much racism I get funny I'll get like an older guy come up to you and go do you know what you're one of the good ones and I think that's funny I've got no issue with that I think if you've got an issue with that you need to get the chip off your shoulder you know what I mean if you're older and you grew up in a time and it's all right to say stuff like that and then times move on and you're not politically correct anymore that's not your bloody fault if you're older you should just be given a card that says I can call you what I want to worry about without worrying about being political they're telling me I can't say if I bump into an older person just to give me a wobble head to make him feel comfortable James foreign [Applause] [Music] I did start to get worried though because I was sort of thinking in the run-up to the last election ukip was starting to get popular and I was thinking oh God what does that mean for my family and then I realized I don't actually know anything about you Kip so I thought you know I'll go check it out see what they're all about I went to the website do you know what it's a nice website easy to navigate menus I thought this is all right I'm on board with this started looking at the policies so I'm thinking you know what I don't know if I disagree with a lot of this if you want to take tax off a minimum wage I'm in total agreement got to the end of it and I thought holy I think I might be ukip on the phone to my mom I said to her mom what have you really contributed and you know what I wasn't that happy with their answers that's the only Street she might have to go foreign she actually um she doesn't think I'm a proper Asian it's a sad thing about it my mom calls me a coconut I don't know if you've heard this term brown on the outside white on the inside come closer your coconut and the reason my mom calls me a coconut is because I'm originally Sri Lankan my mother tongue is Tamil I can't speak it and the reason I can't speak it is because my mum and dad never spoke it to me and I was growing up and now I don't know it my mum blames me I don't know what about why don't you and then we'll go out and my mom will slag me off to her Sri Lankan friends in front of me like I don't know what's going on should I mean I know what you're saying I get the gist attention try and code that up so I don't understand foreign [Applause] these diseases are one of them another one is a gogglebox it's definitely the end of the world isn't it people are watching people watch television for the world to you does anyone here watch gogglebox yeah they should be executed I can't believe this TV program exists man I can't believe it what a damning indictment of every other piece of Television that's being made do you know I mean can you imagine you poured your heart and soul into some drama and you say how's the drama doing in the ratings not that well mate what's it being beaten by it's been beaten by some people that are watching the drama dick all right Hey listen I don't deny it's entertaining Apollo I don't deny it's entertaining watching gogglebox but the problem is it puts you under pressure in your own house puts you under pressure man I don't want to have performance anxiety before I watch television because I'll sit down to watch TV we'll flick it on gogglebox is on there or like Banta Banta Banta banter and then my wife will turn to why is it not like this when we watch those I'll tell you why it's not this because we switched this on so I don't have to talk to you that's not whole point of Television this has died let's switch this on do you mean I've got my phone here literally third in line in terms of my level of attention I'm addicted to my phone man I'm addicted to my phone are there any iPhone users in any Android phone uses it no problem with you what a self-satisfied smug bunch of Pricks you are oh my God aren't they proud of themselves that they've got an Android phone have you got an iPhone uh no I'm not ashamed I think I'll make up my own mind about what phone I buy thank you very much you haven't unplugged from The Matrix all right Off the Grid because you bought a Samsung all right it's a corporation it's not a little family-owned business two brothers salmon song just like to set up a little master and knock out phones you're not better than me all right and they love talking about the battery life that oh my God I imagine you're looking for a plug point shut up mate battery life on smartphones the best thing about them because when the battery runs out then I'll interact with my kids right because I've got no willpower I'll be down in the park I'm like oh that's one out better find out where they're going with those old men the phone companies have got to admit that they've made the phones too good they have to admit they're too good for humans they are they're too good because I'll be out with my wife and she'll say to me why are you constantly you're constantly you're constantly on the phone suddenly on the phone why not madam you've got a little box here that can access any website I can play games I can watch films why the would I want to hear about your

I've really tried to like this guy. Once in a while he's funny but there's just something about him that bugs me. His last Netflix was ok but the self indulgent bullshit after it ruined the whole thing for me.
